Student Organizations

Student & Faculty Activities

The College believes that activities outside the classroom enrich, supplement, and provide a testing ground for classroom learning. These activities offer opportunities for social growth and for the development of values, appreciations, and insights. The faculty seek to provide an environment in which students may become self-disciplined, self-reliant, and socially sensitive individuals.

Students and faculty have the opportunity to become members of several clubs and organizations. They may participate in any college activity for which they are eligible. All student organizations have faculty sponsors and are responsible to the Vice Chancellor for Student Services.
